Provisional figures. Renault showed New Trafic Van E-Tech at IAA Transportation on 14 September 2026, and its range, payload and load volume are all still going through homologation. No UK prices, trims or equipment yet.

2026 Renault Trafic Van E-Tech L2 81 kWh

Announced

81 kWh long range

Built in Sandouville, France

Battery

Battery The long range pack. Renault says two batteries are sold and has not published what the smaller one holds.: 81 kWh

Range

Range WLTP, and still being homologated. Renault's European release claims over 470 km, which is 292 miles, and nearly 690 km around town.: 279 miles

Charging

Max fast charge power Renault quotes its charging claim against a 240 kW DC charger and has not published what the van itself peaks at.: 240 kW
Fastest charge time 15 to 80%, on the long range battery, on a 240 kW charger. The European release puts that at up to 280 km of range recovered, or 380 km of city range.: 20 mins
System voltage Eight hundred volts, which is what the twenty minute charge rests on. The Master and Kangoo beside it are 400 volt vans.: 800 V

Details

Towing capacity Two tonnes, from the European release. Renault has not restated it for the UK.: 2,000 kg
Platform Renault Group's new medium van platform, and the first of five LCVs it will carry by 2028.: RGEV

Dimensions

Turning circle The same as a Clio, which Renault leans on rather harder than the load figures.: 10.3 metres
Length The L2. Renault gives the L1 as "from 4.9 m" and has published nothing else about it; it is still being homologated.: 5,270 mm
Height Under the 1.9 m that standard underground car parks are built to, which is the point of the figure.: 1,890 mm
Volume The L2, pending certification. Three Euro pallets load through the rear or the side, the rear doors open to 180 degrees, and the load floor is 53 cm off the ground.: 5.8 m³
Payload The UK figure. The European release claims 1.3 tonnes, and neither is homologated yet.: 1,250 kg
Width including mirrors Renault quotes 2.3 m and does not split the body from the mirrors, so it is recorded as the wider of the two.: 2,300 mm

Tech

V2L (3-pin socket) A socket in the load compartment, for tools on site. An ePTO for refrigeration and ambulance conversions is promised but not here yet.: Yes
Android Automotive openR evo, with Google built in: a 12 inch centre screen and a 10 inch instrument panel. Navigation routes around the load on board and the hills in the way.: Yes
Over-the-air updates Software-defined: two computers in place of 80 ECUs, running the Android-based CAR OS that Renault built with Google.: Yes

The 180 degree rear doors, and the 3D rear light signature

Loading through the side door: 1.30 m between the wheel arches, and a 53 cm load floor

Both openings at once, with the rear door up

A pallet going in through the side door, which is what the three-Euro-pallet claim looks like

V2L: mains tools running off the van on site

Under 1.9 m tall, so it clears a standard underground car park
